Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

  • Rearview or backup camera image goes to a blue screen, flickers, or shows a grainy/no-grid picture, sometimes tied to a defective radio module.
  • Forward collision or automatic braking system engages unexpectedly at low speed, causing hard braking or a sudden lunge forward with no vehicles nearby.
  • Lane departure or lane assist fails to hold the vehicle in its lane or disengages control unpredictably, described by owners as the truck 'losing control' under lane assist.
  • Backup camera and rear sensors stop working while reversing, leaving the driver unable to see a vehicle behind them.
  • Automatic emergency braking slams on the brakes while backing into a parking spot near vegetation, well before reaching the space, forcing owners to disable the feature.
